Subject: New comment on a map issue
A volunteer Waze Map Editor, reporter, looked at the map issue you’re following.
Date reported: September 5
Location: A478, Wooden
Status: Open
Of note, the Status says Open when the status of the report is closed:
Closed on: 05 September, 2025

It also says “A volunteer Waze Map Editor, reporter”, the reporter is the end user reporting a problem, so referring them as a volunteer Waze Map Editor, reporter seems to not be quite correct.
This morning (almost 12 hours later) I received an email with a reply that was sent after the report was closed but the status still says “in review.”
It also says the editor is “someone.” LOL I’m the editor. That field should either show my username or not exist. This seems to only occur on reports that are already closed out.
The report below is still open and shows the correct status of in review, but incorrectly shows the editor as VroomVroomBitch2021, who is the reporter. VroomVroomBitch2021 is not an editor and has never logged into WME.
The “Editor” field refers to the person who commented, in this case this is the same user who submitted the report. Perhaps “Commenter” would make more sense - if you think so too or havE other suggestiOns, I’d encourage you to raise it in the main thread for better visibility.
“Someone” refers to the reporter, and is used in case the username has not been shared (the Wazer has not seen the disclaimer).
If I understand that properly, then the “Editor: Someone” field isn’t needed at all. The top “Someone” part covers who commented most recently. The one under details adds no value. That would resolve that portion of the issue.
